A CONVICTED rapist was sent back to a youth detention centre after he admitted having sex with a 13-year-old girl.

Daniel Hamer, 19, appeared before Chester Crown Court on Friday after he broke the terms of his licence after being released from the Young Offenders Institution in Liverpool.

The court heard how Hamer had previously been convicted of three serious sex offences in 2007 and 2008, including a rape and a separate incident involving a five-year-old girl, all of which took place in Middlewich.

Having been released, Hamer, then aged 17, engaged in consensual sexual activity with a 13-year-old girl in a wooded area in Northwich on November 1, 2008.

Hamer and the schoolgirl were part of a group of four that were attending a fireworks display, organised by the Round Table.

Hamer’s original sentence was extended to five years in a youth offenders institute, meaning a further three years in custody and his licence period was also extended by two years.

Recorder of Chester Elgan Edwards said the court’s hands were tied in terms of imposing a more substantial sentence.

He said: “You are clearly dangerous which is a terrible thing to have to say that to a young man. You pose a significant risk. You are clearly a danger to young girls.

“You must try and control yourself in future, if you don’t you will spend a very very long time in custody and you will have a wretched life.”
